Chapter 559

Episode 559 Choi

Min-hong and Jang Seo-ah safely came down to the treasure chest.

“....”

“....”

Probably with the help of a creature that appears to be Jeong Eun-woo.

Instead of the round ears of a human being, thin, pale membranes fluttered down, the pitch-black eyes with no distinction between white and black were not covered as if they had no eyelids, and the neck had gills with blood dripping down, making it look like a monster to anyone’s eyes...

” ...fish!”

“oh.”

Minhong Choi briefly summarized his opponent in two words.

Because the summary was too elliptical, Jang Seo-ah, who was busy watching, stopped him. I was afraid that Jung Eun-woo, who had become a monster, would be angry.

“Don’t call it a new fish, brother. “They said it would be rude to call an adult that.”

“Then what do you say?”

“Shouldn’t I call you Uncle Jeong Eun-woo...?”

However, Minhong Choi was not an easy opponent to persuade.

“But no. Uncle Eunwoo Jeong is a human being. “This is a fish.”

“Even if it’s true, it’s polite to spin it around. “That’s how adults like it.”

“okay? “Do adults praise you?”

“As far as I know, it seems like that...”

“Then I’ll call you Uncle Jeong Eun-woo too.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Minhong Choi corrected.

“Mister Jeong Eun-woo!”

The opponent was silent.

“Mister Jeong Eun-woo!”

“Mister, let’s not bother you too much...”

“Did you become a fish too? “Are you a mermaid?”

“Jung Eun-woo isn’t as pretty as a mermaid. “Not even a woman.”

“...You can’t be a mermaid unless you’re a woman...?”

For some reason, Jang Seo-ah shook her head as Choi Min-hong looked at me with a disappointed face.

“Maybe not, but I said that only women can become mermaids in this aquarium. So, Eunwoo Jeong and Minhong oppa can’t be mermaids.”

“But you’re a fish now....”

“I think it’ll feel better for you to say it’s a fish or aquatic creature rather than a fish. And not all fish are the same. “It is true that Jung Eun-woo has now become a monster similar to an aquatic creature, but I don’t think that means he is a mermaid.”

“...Uh....”

Minhong Choi said with a strange frown on his face.

“You talk too hard.”

“I’m sorry...”

“I wasn’t angry...”

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

“...So what should we do now?”

Minhong Choi asked Seoah Jang.

He clearly considered himself Jang Seo-ah’s older brother, but at least he knew and acknowledged that Jang Seo-ah was much smarter than him. In Minhong Choi’s opinion, asking someone smarter than him about his plans did not undermine his brother’s authority.

Jang Seo-ah, who hesitated, answered Choi Min-hong’s question.

“...First of all, shouldn’t Mr. Eunwoo Jeong promise not to harm us...?”

It was a situation where we couldn’t even understand why he, a monster, helped us in the first place.

After receiving the attention of the two kindergarten students, Jeong Eun-woo, who had been looking down at them blankly, slightly tilted his head. It was a gesture as if he was wondering something.

“...hello?”

“...Hello....”

“Hello.”

“hello.”

“hello.”

“....”

Minhong Choi’s face was twisted.

“Why do you keep saying hello?”

“nice to meet you.”

“Not like that.”

“Nice to meet you, friend.”

“No, not like that.”

“How have you been?”

“Oh really...! “I’m going to be angry!”

Jang Seo-ah hugged Choi Min-hong, who was running wild, and calmed his anger.

At first, when she saw Jung Eun-woo repeating the same words like a broken machine, she thought, ‘What on earth is this supposed to do?’ But Seo-ah Jang was soon able to grasp the situation.

“I guess Mr. Eunwoo Jeong’s intelligence is not what it used to be.”

“What are you talking about?”

“To put it more simply, I think Jung Eun-woo became a bit stupid after becoming a monster...”

“Do you have dementia?”

“...maybe similar...?”

In fact, Jung Eun-woo’s appearance was clearly different from dementia, but at first glance, there seemed to be a similarity in that he did not communicate well.

Jang Seo-ah continued speaking, hoping that Jung Eun-woo would not be offended by our explicit conversation.

“...Yeah....”

“Let’s go Seo-ya.”

“...okay.”

But what can you do?

We’ve already come this far.

“You can open it.”

“....”

Jang Seo-ah hesitated in front of the box that Jeong Eun-woo pointed out. It was something that could not be helped for a normally timid child, but Choi Min-hong must have found it frustrating and stepped forward to touch the top of the box.

and.

“...ah.”

Slurp.

Minhong Choi lost his mind.

After watching the quietly falling body, Jang Seo-ah slowly raised her head while holding on to the hem of her skirt.

“Ah...”

The hand holding the cloth trembled slightly.

“....”

Jung Eun-woo was smiling like before.

“You should open it.”

With that being said.

“....”

“Open.”

was laughing

None of the kindergarten students could open the box.

Was that consideration?

When Jeong In-ho and Seo Jang-hwa arrived, the incident had already happened.

“...! “Isn’t that Seo-ah?!”

“This is crazy...!”

The two quickly entered the ‘Sea Treasure Hall’. The kindergarteners were slowly sinking down a narrow hallway filled with water, and it seemed like they were unconscious as their bodies were sagging.

Jeong In-ho and Seo Jang-hwa pulled the two out as quickly as possible and came out into the hallway to urgently check the children’s condition.

“Why is this, this, this....” “

....”

“...Ah, I can’t breathe. “I’m fucking breathing.”

“...I’m glad.”

“Haaaaa....”

The children were giggling for a while because their entire bodies were soaked and water had entered their respiratory tract, but neither of them died. Jeong In-ho and Seo Jang-hwa sighed in relief and patted the backs of the children who were still coughing.

And it wasn’t until 10 minutes later that they realized the problem.

“...Why don’t you wake up?”

The coughing, spitting out water, was so intense that it seemed like they would have opened their eyes even for a moment, but the two kindergarten students showed no signs of regaining consciousness.

I pretended to be a doctor who wasn’t there and opened the children’s eyelids, but their eyeballs didn’t even react slightly.

“I think he probably fainted, but how could he have...”

“Was there something so dangerous in the Sea Treasure Hall?”

“...There’s a treasure chest.”

Seo Jang-hwa frowned at Jeong In-ho’s words.

“...What are you talking about? How did they get in there where the treasure chest is?”

“In the first place, they were falling from above the water. As if someone had dropped the unconscious Seo-ah and Min-hong into a place of water... “Then it means that we succeeded in rising to the surface.”

“Some crazy bastard is drowning unconscious kids. Aside from being a crazy person with a conscience, isn’t there anyone who can physically do that? “I guess there’s no one in the Sea Treasure Hall right now?”

“....”

“Unless Jeong Eun-woo crawled out of the box....”

“....”

“....”

Seo Jang-hwa let out a deep sigh.

“Fuck.”

After swearing briefly, Seo Jang-hwa stood up.

“I’m going back in for a moment and coming out. “I’m not sure if Jung Eun-woo is real, but... Anyway, I’m watching the kids well.”

“Have a safe trip.”

And Seo Jang-hwa didn’t come back until about 10 minutes later.

“Now say hello. “I brought you the Goddess of Justice.”

With Ha Seong-yoon, who was clearly upset.

She had an expression that said, ‘I don’t know why the situation came to this, but I did everything I had to do.’ Ha Seong-yoon, whose feet were bright red, perhaps because he came across ‘Friends by the Stream’, pretended not to see Seo Jang-hwa retreating naturally and scolded In-ho Jeong.

“How could you have messed things up like this, Jeong In-ho?”

“Ha...”

“Are you sighing just now? What are you saying that you did well?”

Jeong In-ho made a bug-bitten expression.

“Yes, welcome.”

It’s nice to see this doctor too.
